Itinerary description

The third installment of the TGH has you climbing to the highest peak inside Taipei City. Go on a clear day and your effort will be handsomely rewarded with 360-degree views of the surrounding area. As well as big views, this route also takes in some really pleasant forest and ridge scenery on the Mount Ding - Mount Shiti Trail.

    Had a great day following this trail. Many spectacular views, but yes a bit challenging at the end to climb the peak. I got knocked to the ground early on in the trek by an earthquake. That is something I will never forget!
